Richard Childress Racing announced on Saturday, December 13th that they have hired Todd Parrott as the company’s Competition Director for the NASCAR XFINITY Series.
“I worked with Todd Parrott for several years at a prior team and I have never met a more passionate person when it comes to working hard and winning races,” Dr. Eric Warren, Director of Competition for RCR, said. “Todd is organized and has great instincts about how to get performance out of both cars and teams. He is a proven winner with championship talent and has always overachieved with every team for whom he’s worked.”
Parrott has been a crew chief for 20 years in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, winning 31 races and earning 144 top-five finishes. He also led Dale Jarrett to a Sprint Cup Championship in 1999.
“This is an incredible opportunity for me and I am looking forward to working with RCR’s XFINITY Series drivers, crew chiefs, Dr. Warren and everyone involved with the team,” Parrott said. “I have known Richard Childress and Mike Dillon for many years and our families go back a long time.
“They already have a solid program and it’s now up to me to take the ball and run with it for next year. I’m looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead, winning several races and adding another championship for the organization.”
